Abstract
John Charnley was born in Bury, an industrial town in Lancashire, England, on 29 August 1911.
I wish either my father or mother. . .had minded what they were about when they begot me; had they duly considered how much depended upon what they were then doing;—that not only the production of a rational Being was concerned in it, but that possibly. . . his genius and the very cast of his mind. . .
